ICE agents kidnapped a US citizen in Chicago because she didn’t “look” American to them. She even had her US passport on her. 🤬

This is their plan. If the Supreme Court lets them wipe out Black voting power in the South, Republicans will never have to leave power.

Antifa is an ideology, it’s not a group. Trumpsters use it as a thing to give their moronic followers something to grab onto💯

Antifa is a POV. there is no group, no membership, leaders, operatives or records, financial or otherwise because it doesn't exist.

as it's entirely fictional, everything they "find" will be fictional. ergo said findings will automatically support their spurious assertions. Like Bush's WMD lie.

Jordy created a website where visitors can contribute $35 to “provide an inflatable costume for a True American.™”

He initially hoped to collect enough to buy a couple dozen suits.

But as he put it -- “This whole thing has blown up a lot.”

Woman still in jail after violent arrest at ICE protest—for playing "Ghostbusters" on her clarinet.

She was mysteriously transported to jail across state lines—husband not told until 9 hours later.

"We can't even see her... Our 3-year-old has no idea when we'll see mommy again"

Jack Smith, the special counsel who twice secured indictments of Donald Trump, said it was “ludicrous” to suggest he was motivated by partisan politics — and offered a scathing denunciation of the Trump Justice Department — in his first extended remarks since resigning in January.

Jack Smith Calls Idea That Politics Infected Trump Prosecutions ‘Ludicrous’

The former special counsel’s first extended remarks since resigning in January were released the same day House Republicans summoned him to testify.

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

Trump Halts Billions in Grants for Democratic Districts During Shutdown (Gift Article)

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

An hour and 11-minute long mix of nothing but D'Angelo live tracks from various shows during the Brown Sugar and Voodoo eras. It's so well done. Also downloadable.

Best concert ever. I ended up in the front row and D’Angelo shook my hand. I didn’t want to wash it. 😂 He was a special musician and will be missed.

If you didn’t get to see D’Angelo during his Voodoo run, here is an audio recording from his show in LA. 2 hours of musical heaven.
